Junk removal in Milwaukee

Milwaukee keeps everyday bulky pickup simple. About one cubic yard of bulky items can go out at your regular collection spot on your regular day, with no online request and no phone call. Bulky here means things too big for the cart, like broken furniture, a queen mattress or large broken toys. It only applies if City of Milwaukee Sanitation collects your garbage.

A bigger pile takes a special pickup, which you request and pay for, priced by how many cubic yards you set out.

That split shapes a cleanout here. An old couch and a mattress can ride out with your weekly trash, a cubic yard at a time.

What the city doesn't call bulky matters even more. Appliances, TVs and other electronics, tires and yard waste don't go out with bulky items at all. Those go to one of the city's two Drop Off Centers, on North Industrial Road and West Lincoln Avenue, open Tuesday through Saturday, with Sundays added from spring into late fall.

Questions homeowners ask

How accurate is a photo estimate?
It’s a ballpark, not a quote. A photo gives us a good read on how much there is, but a hauler who sees it in person will always be more precise. Use our number as the range to expect before you start calling around.
How is junk removal priced?
By how much of a truck your stuff fills — a few items cost far less than a full truckload. Heavy or special items like appliances and mattresses add a disposal fee.
Do you handle big or heavy items?
Most haulers do — appliances, furniture, mattresses, construction debris. Let us know in the quick questions so the ballpark includes the disposal fees.
Is this really free?
Yes. No signup, no credit card, no spam. We only make money if you choose to connect with a local pro — and that’s up to you.
What photo works best?
One shot that shows the whole pile, or the full room, gives the best read on how much there is.
